Exciting! The art was finished Friday night and uploaded to Discmakers. Libby had dropped off the art files she did Wednesday night and Christy and I completed the liner notes page, back cover and inside right page. In Adobe Photoshop, we took Libby’s cover art and the 3 other panels, exported them as TIFs and dropped them into Adobe Illustrator. From there we worked them into the Discmakers template. We also cooked up a quick art for the CD itself.
The cd master was sent via FedEx after all that on Friday night and arrived this morning. I had forgotten to upload some TIFs (oops!) so they called & emailed me for me to do this. I should have the physical copies on Thursday, July 3 so they can be sold at Nerdapalooza 2008 on July 4+5 !!
While filling out the legal paperwork for Discmakers, I said my record label was “Lucky Black Cat Music”. Anther question was the name of the recording studio. I said “Bela’s Castle”. Kinda gay right? To the right you’ll see the black cat that Lazer Libby arted up for the cover. In later posts I’ll show you conceptual sketches she did of the cover characters.
I also noticed I had a typo on one of the track names (electrovoodoo instead of electricvoodoo) and an extra e in ‘rap-sody in blue period eera’. The first one isn’t so bad but the second one is a big WOOPS.
